Paramedics rushed to the plane to give Tyson medical attention while a medical alert was on the plane, according to witnesses.
A member of Tyson’s team gave the update, revealing that he was doing “great”.
They told the New York Post: “He became nauseous and dizzy from an ulcer that appeared 30 minutes before landing.
“He is grateful to the medical staff who were there to help him.”
The eyewitness said: “He was in first class, but we were in the exit row,” the eyewitness added.
“They asked us to stay on the plane and they landed so the paramedics could get in. [The stewardess] said something like, ‘He’s a very important passenger so we want to make sure he’s okay.’ I knew it was him, but I just mouthed ‘Mike Tyson’ and she nodded.”
Tyson, 57, is just weeks away from his successful fight with Jake Paul.
The former world champion has impressed with his speed and strength during sparring, but has also struggled with his health in recent years.

Tyson suffers from sciatica which has left him unable to speak and walk in the past.
He said about his condition: “Every now and then I have sciatica, it flares up.” When it’s on fire, I can’t even talk! Thank God, that’s the only health problem I have. I’m great now.

“Everyone in my house is truly blessed and we are all very grateful for everything we have.”
Sciatica is a condition that causes nerve irritation and has already affected Tyson’s back, forcing him into a wheelchair on one occasion.
What is sciatica?
Sciatica is a condition that causes nerve irritation.
It usually affects one side, starting in the lower back or bottom and spreading down one leg.
Symptoms of sciatica include a shooting pain that starts in the lower back or buttocks and travels down the back of the leg, often to the feet and toes.
Common treatments for sciatica include exercise and stretching. Other treatments like injections or surgery can help if it doesn’t get better.
Sciatica can occur when something presses or rubs on the sciatic nerve. The most common cause is a slipped disc in the spine.
